From the mountains and forests to Qili Village outside the city of Luoyang Prefecture.

On the way, Sleep also grabbed a few mink.

After arriving outside Qili Village, three carriages soon came to pick them up, someone named Uncle Xu, and brought them a few sets of clothes and makeup supplies.

Rong Laosi dressed himself up in a different appearance and asked, "Is there anything abnormal in Luoyang Mansion recently?" ”

Uncle Xu looked solemn and replied respectfully: "General Rong, since the military rations came out three months ago, the garrisons in various parts of the Wandering Yang Mansion have made a lot of trouble in order to grab the military rations, and the Zhong family has not only strengthened the garrison but also imposed martial law on the whole city in order to suppress the turmoil. ”

After hearing this, Rong Laosi didn't say anything, because these were all within his expectations, and if it was really the Zhong family's people who arrested Zhong Ningjun, then Zhong Ningjun would definitely be useful to the Zhong family, with the Zhong family's understanding of Zhong Ningjun's current situation in Baizhang Village, they would definitely be able to guess that someone would save him, so martial law at the city gate may be true, but it may also be a trick.

"Cheng Yi, I'll take Sleep and Cheng Si and Cheng Jiu to find a way to go into the city to explore, you take the others and Xiaobai to stay here first, Xiaobai is familiar with the taste of sleep, if we don't come back in three days, you can find a way to take Xiaobai into the city."

Cheng Yi understood, Master had handed over the follow-up deployment to him, and nodded solemnly.

Sleepy was disguised as a young lady from a foreign family, holding a sable in her arms, and quickly rushed to the gate of the city of Luoyang Mansion with her father.

At this time, there were not many people entering and leaving the city gate, but there was still a long queue at the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city carefully interrogated and searched every citizen who entered and left the city.

It took almost a quarter of a minute for them to take their turn.

The soldiers defending the city obviously knew all the familiar faces, and when they saw Rong Laosi's face, they became even more serious, and asked unceremoniously: "Where did the fight come from?" I've never seen it before. ”

Before Rong Laosi could speak, Uncle Xu, who was in charge of answering them, secretly stuffed a silver ingot to each of the soldiers guarding the city, and said with a smile: "Official, these are my brother and the three children of my brother, they are from Qu County, I heard that our business is booming after the opening of border trade in Dingzhou, and he came to take a look, he also wants to do some small business in our wandering Yang City, and he will have to work hard for the officials to take care of him in the future." ”

The official knew Uncle Xu's familiar face, and as soon as he touched the size of the silver ingot, he knew that he was generous, and there was naturally a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Xu Yuanwai's brother, and we can talk about it in the future, but these days the city gate is under martial law, and we are also acting according to the rules, so we still have to check what should be checked." ”

Uncle Xu immediately nodded: "That's that!" Rules are rules! ”

After that, he asked Rong Laosi and the others to get off the carriage.

The officers and men carefully inspected the inside and outside of the carriage, and found no weapons or other suspicious objects, so they pointed to the three minks and asked, "What is this for?" How do you bring so many minks? ”

Rong Laosi arched his hand to the officers and soldiers, changed his tone and said: "Poor master, this is the pet of the little girl, these three minks are a family of three, they have always been inseparable, because the little girl loves it, so they will take it when they go out." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to the sable in his arms and said cutely: "Uncle, let's take care of the little ones, he is the father, that is the millet and the little millet, the millet department-"

"Alright, okay, got it!" The official had little patience for sleeping, but he didn't embarrass her, and directly interrupted her and told her to hurry over.

After sleeping and sleeping to achieve the goal, he didn't talk nonsense with this kind of big-headed soldier, followed his father into the carriage and quickly entered the city, and went straight to a small courtyard of the Xu family in Fucheng.

This small courtyard is not very far from Zhongfu, Sleep and follow Daddy to use the afternoon time to turn around, and work out the retreat route after saving people, and when it is quiet at night, Sleep Sleep released the mink that had been raised with spiritual fluid for two days, and went straight to Zhongfu to find Zhong Ningjun's whereabouts.

But day and night passed, and the mink did not come back.

There was no special movement on the Zhong Mansion's side.

I couldn't bear to sleep, and I wanted to take my father to go shopping around Zhongfu.

Rong Laosi faintly felt that something was wrong, out of intuition, as soon as he got into the night, he changed his clothes again, and the merchant who was dressed as Beiyong quietly left from a dark passage with his sleep, went to another house across the street, and left from that house to an inn to stay.

Looking out from the inn, you can see the vicinity of the previous house.

At first, she didn't know why she did this, but at night, she was still asleep when she was awakened by a noisy movement, as if there was a fire somewhere, and she heard a lot of people shouting.

She got up from the bed, and before she could call someone, her father came back from outside.

"Daddy, what's going on outside?"

Rong Laosi put on his daughter's clothes, touched her hair and said with a smile: "It's okay, Daddy led the snake out of the hole, and the snake came out." ”

I didn't understand when I slept and woke up, and I couldn't sleep because of my curiosity, so I wanted to go out to see.

Rong Laosi couldn't do anything with his daughter, so he didn't take the usual path and hugged her and went straight out of the window and landed on the roof of the inn.

Sleeping in my father's arms, I saw that the small courtyard where they lived was on fire not far away, and in addition to the fire, there were many people in black clothes in the yard, and they were still holding knives in their hands!

"Daddy, is that a member of the embarrassing family!" Sleep suddenly caught a clue, thinking that he might have guessed the truth!

Rong Laosi nodded, not worried that his daughter would not understand, and explained: "When the Zhong family was arresting Zhong Ningjun, they expected that someone would come to save him, and it was either our Rong family or the Guo family, so the Zhong family deliberately let us into the city, and then took advantage of the time when we relaxed our vigilance, and wanted to catch turtles in an urn!" ”

Sleep guessed that it was so, and then asked: "Daddy, are the people of the embarrassing family stupid, we can all guess what they are thinking, can't they guess that we can guess?" ”

Rong Laosi felt very relieved, his daughter was only three and a half years old, and she was already able to think about such a complex issue, and she could empathize.

"Of course, the Zhong family also guessed that we could guess, but this is a rare opportunity for them, even if they know that they may fail, they will not hesitate to try, now Daddy can be sure that it is just a matter of passing to lure us out by using Zhong Ningjun, otherwise it would be impossible for us to escape so smoothly, the Zhong family must have other purposes for catching Zhong Ningjun, and ...... Zhong Ningjun may not be in the Zhong Mansion, but just in case, Daddy has to prepare for both now. ”

Sleeping and sleeping made sense of my father's analysis, so he asked: "Then how can I save my brother?" ”

Rong Laosi didn't have a better way for the time being, and said: "It's imperative to find someone first, girl, you stay with your brother in the inn with Cheng's brother, and Daddy wants to visit Zhongfu at night tonight!" ”

Sleep frowned: "Daddy, wouldn't you mind if you were too risky?" ”

The Zhong family is catching his father outside, but his father wants to visit the Zhong family at night!

Rong Laosi took Sleep back to the inn room, and said with a smile: "The adventure is a bit risky, but the Zhong family must not have imagined that Daddy would throw himself into the net, in addition to looking for the whereabouts of your Brother Zhong, Daddy also has to go to the Zhong family to find something important, otherwise Uncle Xu will be exposed in vain!" ”

Sleep is curious: "What is important?" ”

Need daddy to take such a big risk!

Rong Laosi squinted his eyes, with a hint of ruthlessness hidden in his expression, and whispered, "Daddy is going to find the key to the Zhong family's silver vault." ”

This is the most important thing to completely bring down the Zhong family!
